Newsletter 4, August 2013

Welcome to our Newsletter no 4. It has taken longer than planned to send out this newsletter and we apologize for the delay. Jaap’s trip to Europe and many other activities were taking so much of our time and energy that we could not produce a newsletter that we could be happy with. Jaap has been very pleased by the responses to the workshops in The Netherlands and Denmark. They were all very successful and people experienced a lot of personal growth and expansion. The dragon workshops had a special quality due to the high number of dragon skulls that were present during the workshops. It was interesting to feel that when so many dragon skulls are gathered it has a strong effect on the energies. This effect is quite different from working with crystal skulls as a support for a dragon workshop.

Dragon workshop in The Hague, The Netherlands

The past period has stimulated several studies. We are focusing at the moment on several different subjects, like dragons, landscape temples, the brain, DNA and of course crystal skulls. We will share some aspects of these studies in this newsletter. As promised we present another opportunity to hone your skills in feeling the energies of vortexes and portals. We hope you will enjoy this Newsletter

Being open and “listening from the heart” – Jaap’s Musings Over the past months I have been confronted by people who believe statements and opinions of others without checking their truth for themselves. I have seen people following others without any discernment, giving their power away to them. This resulted in some musings that I like to share here. We always are in a process of learning. We learn in many ways. We are also always teaching. We also teach in many ways. Many people are hardly aware that we continuously learn from life or that we continuously teach by sharing our experiences. This process of learning/teaching is very important. It contributes to how we experience life and how we affect life. The first step of this process is to allow it to naturally unfold. However, because many are stuck in belief structures, this natural process of learning and teaching gets blocked. If you look around you and inside you, you may become aware how often we and others block this natural process. At every NOW moment we have the complete ability to be open for new things. This openness is a choice. In every moment we have the choice to be open and see the world in a new way or to see it as “the same”. When we can see it as new we also have the opportunity to receive new information; learn new things. Only total openness allows us to learn new things and to be open for new ways of being in this reality.

Where do we focus on?

To achieve such an open state we need to learn to listen and “perceive” from the heart. Our minds are full with beliefs that prevent us to be completely open for “new”. However, our hearts are more able to open to receive without any preconceived ideas. I choose to let go of my mind as much as possible so I can relax and connect with my heart. Then I am open for the teachings of the Universe in whatever way they come to us. In this way I always will be a student. I also am a teacher. I am not a teacher who “knows” and tells you how things are, but a teacher who shares where he is on his journey in that moment, always changing due to new input. Therefore I am a teacher who always invites you to feel with what of my sharing you can resonate while you are listening from your heart. Our heart is truly the place that can tell what is important for us to be open for and what we need to let go of. Our heart will help us to ensure that we never will accept things that others share, unless our hearts resonate with this sharing. This is the way to truly enjoy our ever expanding journey.The brain, DNA and the role of Love This is one of the subjects we are studying and we like to give you a little “appetizer” of it. We will share more about this and other subjects in the future, in whatever ways feels right. Some aspects of this study are summarized in a workshop called “Transforming Fear into Joy, Happiness and Love”. This workshop is announced in this Newsletter as well. Most people are now aware that when there is fear there is no love. In reverse, when we are in a state of love there is no fear. Although most people agree with this statement they will immediately ask how to get out of fear that exists in so many variations. How can we stay in a state of love, while life seems to present us with many situations that induce fear, worries and anxiety? A couple of months ago my guidance told me to start studying the brain and DNA. Although I had no idea why I got this invitation I have learned that once I start to follow guidance it always will become clear why such an invitation has been given. It did not take long before I began to understand why I was guided to study these two subjects. Studying the brain gave me information about the difference between being in a state of fight and flight and as a consequence being in stress, or being in a state of higher consciousness, joy and happiness, intuition and love. This difference is the difference between functioning from the limbic and reptilian part of our brain, or functioning from the frontal lobes of the neo-cortex.

Living in stress, which has an effect on the brain and actually on the whole human system, also has an effect on our DNA. It has an effect through a process called methylation of DNA which affects the way DNA can express itself. These are the subjects that have been included in the studies of Lemurantis. The understanding of the way the brain functions has lead to a workshop (to see when the next workshop will be, see our calendar). Hopefully we also can develop a workshop that can help to optimize the way DNA expresses itself. Our goal is to support people to live more from a place of joy, happiness and love so they can move from living in duality to living in oneness.Develop your sensitivity for Earth energies In the previous Newsletter we started with presenting pictures to allow you to develop your sensitivity for Earth energies. We all are connected to the energies of Mother Earth. However, we are not always aware of it and most people are not trained to discern between the different energies of the Earth. Although the best way to experience Earth energies is to go into the field, it also is possible to learn through pictures. Like last time we present two pictures. We can not give too much background information within the format of a newsletter. If you would like more background information we recommend that you read Gifts of Mother Earth (for more information on this book click here). Because we have people who are reading our Newsletter for the first time we give the instructions. For those who may have forgotten these instructions it may help to remember. The first picture shows a vortex. A vortex is a place where a certain type of Earth energy is more intense because it is place of connection between energy lines on Earth and an energy field somewhere above the Earth. The second picture is a portal; in this case a connection between the Earth and a star system. For each of the pictures we give four options. Look at the picture and with each option feel whether you can perceive a resonance between the option and the picture. After doing that with each option you may be able to tell which one gave the strongest reaction. Our suggestion is not to look at the answer too quickly (answers will be on a webpage; the possibility to go to this page will be given under each picture). Do this a couple of times. It will help you to make a deeper connection. It also may help you to be able to “recognize” these energies when you are out in nature.
